Help! Returning to the game after 3 years. Totally confused

Hi together. It's been some time I opened that game. I am totally confused about the current meta etc. Every tip on who to rank up is welcome.

I don't have enough material for all. And i could awaken multiple 6*, give someone sig200 etc. The tier list I can check myself 😅
But really galan? I have him awakend 5/65 and it will take a while until I have a cosmic t5 to put him higher than 6/35

Honestly? Nobody.

You're coming back after a three year hiatus. A lot of the game is different, and there are completely new parts to the game. Game rewards are different, roster requirements are different. I would recommend start playing again and get some experience with the game first. Figure out where your strengths and weaknesses are, and see how far you can get with what you have. Before you run into a wall, you may end up with better champs to rank up, or at least higher rarity versions of those champs.

If you're focusing on story, I assume with that roster you were probably working your way through Act 6. Figure out what paths you need help with, and concentrate rank ups to get through those paths. This is important not just for Act 6, but also because that's basically going to be the strategy moving forward. Act 7, 8 and probably all future Acts beyond them have node/defender combinations intended to test both player skill and roster breadth. A lot of content has stuff that makes it hard, but has a specific set of champions that make it either easier or completely cheese-worthy.

Some champs have near universal utility - Hercules, Archangel, etc, but most are situationally strong. Which ones will help you the most depend on which situations you're currently in.

generic + 200 sigs on kp , then rank him up. Generic on NF + rank him up . Debate on generic on archangel too . KP will carry you so hard , and 6 star generic ag is kinda cheap nowadays too.

Thanks for both of the answer.

I agree with the thought to rank up nobody to try to know what's needed again.

@Jack2634 KP over nf?
What would be my teams look like for aq, aw, normal story quest?
No clue about relics and battleground but this is something that will come over time I guess.

Consider to grind Arena for two weeks and choose to fight champs you don’t own?

well , i did reach paragon as a f2p new account in about 24 days, doing 8.3 with 5 star as the main carry so i hope i have some weight in my word ? Ideally , kp , nimrod , herc ,archangel and nick fury are those champs that will carry you really hard later on , and they are still useful atm (i have all r5 6 star in my main and i use them a lot, so i can assure you that .) .Don't worry about having to use generic gem and sig stones , after progressing in story contents , you will get back a million times more than that . And yes , with your account at the moment prioritize kp over nick fury is arguably better as u just come back from a game , missing infos and champs animation , a beefy kingpin at 100% hp and 5 rage stack is better than a 30% hp nick fury most of the time . I also used nimrod quite frequently in my run to be able to say that he will be really helpful . Arch and NF is just...arch and NF , they always shine . Before doing story mode and stuffs , clearing the shooting star quest first , they give you an enormous supply of iso selector to leveling up champs @Antidote1337

Thank you so much!
I feel that nimrod will just be my answer to every mutant in the game which is just amazing to have.
So even without hood you would play kp, good to know.
Shooting stars is I guess for throne breaker cause so far it's not showing in my quest.

For being gone for 3 years, you pulled some good champs that came out in that time frame (ie Herc, black cat, nimrod, galan).

I'd rank that kingpin. He has much utility, and that's something you'll need in story questing. Then nimrod. Markus vision will be great for the sentinel boss in chapter 6 if you haven't already done that.

Antidote1337

Ye I thought I was lucky with all those "S-tier" champs.
Sentinel is done so maybe no need for the vision.

Slig

Do you have red mags? He was great in my completion of act 6 and 7.

Antidote1337

I got a 4 star version of him. So far I am at 6.4.6 trying to beat grandmaster. He's actually very fun to fight.

Diablo 7* putting in tons of work.

Should I upgrade juggs for the final phase?

Actionoid

With the new Meta use #DamageOverTime champions. The damage over time will make you gain power for your special attacks

I envy your Sig collection 😭

Would a max sig aegon 6* r3 aegon chance something big for my account?
Pushing story so far. On 7.2.1
